A Surreal Encounter with the Suburban Dominatrix
‘I’m so sorry the screams from my dungeon upset the tennis club’: A surreal encounter with the suburban dominatrix (and ex-pastry chef) locked in a spanking great row with her wealthy neighbours
- Mistress Evilyne has run her dominatrix business in Kent for two years
- Neighbours of her ‘torture chamber’ were stunned to discover the business
- She runs her business from a £2,300-a-month five-bed suburban home
- Fellow residents insist they just want to know if the business is legal
On a quiet day, the only noise that can generally be heard on leafy Lynwood Grove in Orpington is the hum of lawn mowers, the gentle chatter of Radio 4 trickling out from an open kitchen window or the gentle thwack of rackets hitting balls from the nearby private tennis club.
Of late, however, this suburban idyll in Kent, where detached houses fetch around £1 million and their professional occupants whizz off to work each morning in BMWs and Audis, has been rocked by a discovery of the most smelling-salt-necessitating kind.
Visitors arriving at one of the vast properties halfway along the street have not merely been popping in for tea and a chat, it transpires.
Indeed, most of the men who arrive each day have appointments for the lengthy sessions they attend at Dungeon Manor, a professional torture chamber run by a feisty, latex-clad dominatrix called Mistress Evilyne.
Each to their own, one might say. Sadly, Lynwood Grove residents don’t appear to be quite so open-minded about the goings-on on their doorsteps.
According to one, sounds of whipping and screaming have been heard from within the Thirties house. Another claims that her 12-year-old daughter saw naked antics in the back garden from her bedroom window. A third complains about the number of nervous-looking men seen hanging about the property and smoking.
Members of Knoll Lawn Tennis Club, which backs onto the garden of Dungeon Manor, have also voiced concerns.
A spokesman says: ‘We are concerned the children might be exposed to something that they shouldn’t see at their age. Is it legal? That’s all we want to know.’
Matters escalated last week when police officers were called to the address while filming was taking place on the driveway — although no charges have been brought.
